Although the whole movie is pleasantly over-the-top, some scenes were unfortunately over-over-the-top and spoilt the enjoyment for me. Still a great and entertaining movie, but it felt a little bit too old-fashioned and failed to thrill. It was all like a theme park ride.

Was Indy always this cheesy? I can deal with aliens, but Shia La Beef swinging from vines? Give it up.

Great to see Indy back, but not quite a very good film. Probably the worst of the series.

Over-the-top and unrealistic even by Indiana Jones standards, Crystal Skull is my least favourite Indiana Jones film, standing a hair above mediocre action-adventures like The Mummy and National Treasure. The decent first half and strong acting by Ford only exacerbate my frustrations with Crystal Skull. With more realism (within the framework of the Indiana Jones universe), less CGI, less fan service, more expansive sets, and more showing (less telling) Crystal Skull could be great.

Dr. Jones might be getting old, but that doesn't mean he doesn't still have it. Despite the best sabotage efforts of George Lucas, this film still turned out to be an easy, breezy, enjoyable summer movie experience.

That last thing I want to be is one of those jerks who equates child molestation with watching a crappy movie by claiming this raped my childhood. But i'll be damned if I didn't feel like that pedo-bearded sack of crap Lucas wasn't reaching for my special area with this limp half-hearted effort.

Definitely a disappointment - I think everyone involved had forgotten what made the earlier instalments tick.

Well, I was fine with the trilogy...

The previous ones took known history and made the supernatural possible. This one took an item and a location and went way too far into left field. I won't spoil it but it wouldn't hurt to to skip this one and wait for the DVD to save a lot of money. I always thought Temple of Doom was the worst, now we have a new winner in that category. It has it's good moments but most of the action was already done in one way or another in other episodes.

I liked this film! While it wasn't as good as the first (although no one expected it to be, "Raiders" is the best!) It was still great to see Harriosn Ford back as Indy! I also loved that they brought back Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood! Once again, it wasn't the greatest thing ever made, but I think it was still great to have Indiana Jones back on the big screen!

Indy is on top form and Cate Blanchett is superb. Also, that chase with LaBeouf's motorbike was really well-conducted and directed. But, although it is amusing, it's obviously inferior to the previous films, basically because of the dysfunctional sci-fi element.
